Complete the equation. Write the sum as a mixed number. (3)/(4)+(5)/(6)=(18)/(◻)+(20)/(◻)=◻(◻)/(◻)

Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for 3/4 and 5/6. To add fractions, they must have the same denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. 3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12 5/6 = (5*2)/(6*2) = 10/12Add Fractions: Add the fractions with the common denominator. Now that both fractions have the same denominator, add them: 9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12Convert to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. 19/12 is an improper fraction (the numerator is larger than the denominator). To convert it, divide 19 by 12. 19 ÷ 12 = 1 remainder 7 So, 19/12 = 1 7/12Write Sum as Mixed Number: Write the sum as a mixed number with the common denominator. The sum of the fractions is 1 7/12. To express it with the common denominator: 1 7/12 = 12/12 + 7/12 = 19/12

Q. Complete the equation. Write the sum as a mixed number.

\newline

\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{18}{\square}+\frac{20}{\square}=\square \frac{\square}{\square}

Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ . $\newline$ To add fractions, they must have the same denominator. The least common multiple of $4$ and $6$ is $12$ . $\newline$ $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(3\times3)}{(4\times3)} = \frac{9}{12}$ $\newline$ $\frac{5}{6} = \frac{(5\times2)}{(6\times2)} = \frac{10}{12}$
Add Fractions: Add the fractions with the common denominator. $\newline$ Now that both fractions have the same denominator, add them: $\newline$ $\frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{19}{12}$
Convert to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. $\newline$ $\frac{19}{12}$ is an improper fraction (the numerator is larger than the denominator). $\newline$ To convert it, divide $19$ by $12$ . $\newline$ $19 \div 12 = 1$ remainder $7$ $\newline$ So, $\frac{19}{12} = 1 \frac{7}{12}$
Write Sum as Mixed Number: Write the sum as a mixed number with the common denominator. $\newline$ The sum of the fractions is $1\frac{7}{12}$ . To express it with the common denominator: $\newline$ $1\frac{7}{12} = \frac{12}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{19}{12}$
